We have no clue what the WiiU will do performance wise, and even the "720" is pure speculation on our part, unknown if it will truly come out. Saying which is better is jumping the gun a bit by a couple years, no?

In any case, it's good to see Nintendo is trying to improve their online service. Just hope they FINALLY remove the terrible friend code system...

Its about time. Nintendo's greatest weakness this past generation has been their being waaaayyyyy behind Sony and Microsoft in terms of supporting a excellent network for online play and community interaction. So even though the Wii was still the party console for when you had a bunch of friends over, it was woefully lacking when it came to playing alone as you could be alone and still play with others far more readily on the 360 or PS3. Friend codes was/is a joke.

That being said, the best part of this news for me is how Nintendo is finally considering offering full retail games over the network for the 3DS. The 3DS supports high capacity SD cards, meaning 32GB cards, which are quite affordable, and its a shame that I can't simply download and store a whole bunch of DS or even 3DS games instead of having to worry about carrying around and swapping carts.

Oh, so how do you know the Wii U sucks if you haven't even played the Wii?
Fanboy much.
Anyway, I like how it works on the 3DS, it's fast, reliable, and has decent quality content. One can only hope it'll improve for the Wii U!

I have relatives you know, relatives who live nearby, and friends who live nearby who all own Wiis, Xbox 360s, whatever.

Just because you have no life doesn't mean you have to project that on me.

And I never said the Wii U sucks, I said it's going to be far too expensive with the cost of accessories to compete, IMHO.

Fanboy much yourself, defending a non-existent argument.

No, no, you never said it'd suck!

I just can't take Nintendo seriously anymore. I mean, it's just rehash after rehash after rehash with every console and every handheld they release. Let me guess. It'll launch with Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, and Metroid? And 50 other sequels? The Wii has the highest percentage of crapware games among consoles and now that the whole "body as a controller" gimmick has run it's course, they'll release some sort of tablet/controller as the next 'gotta have' gimmick.

I predict Nintendo to follow the ways of Sega in the coming years. Right after the Wii U is a tremendous failure in the market.
